Had the paper-based format of the highlights prevailed, defending champion Peter Wright would have been Gerwyn Price’s opponent in the semifinals. But Gabriel Clemens, who defeated Wright, and Krzysztof Ratajski, who defeated Germany, were eliminated, and former BDO world champion Stephen Bunting could fight for the final with Price, who would overtake Michael van Gerw at the top of the world ranking in the event of a final victory. .
Bunting and Price fought their most memorable match with each other at the 2019 World Matchplay, when they won the English final, 13-12.
In the first game of their current clash, Bunting broke with a 120 out, but Price won the first set (0: 1). After that, however, the dice rolled, the Welshman constantly threw games above the 100 average to no avail, Bunting rolled 3: 1. But he was far from over …

Price tied two sets 3-1 (3: 3) and even had an arrow to win the seventh game, but Bunting took the lead again with a 118 out (4: 3). Psychologically, the English player could have prevailed by now, but Price remained focused and changed the tie back to a draw. So far all ten Welsh walks have been included in the double Sector 10! (4: 4)
In the first game of the ninth act, a world championship record was set, with Price’s 112 outcall being the twelfth check-out of more than 100 in the match and ten more than 100 outcals in the World Cup semifinals in the 2016 clash with Adrian Lewis and Raymond van Barneveld.
Bunting was a bit mentally tired for the last two games, at which point he could no longer keep up. Price averaged 87 points per set; The Welshman won the ninth set 3-0, the tenth 3-1, and reached the world final after more than two hours of battle, for the first time in his life.
Simply incredible.
